AI chatbots point vulnerable social media users to illegal online casinos, analysis shows
Summary
AI chatbots from major tech companies are recommending illegal online casinos to vulnerable users and even providing advice on how to bypass gambling safety checks, exposing people to fraud, addiction, and serious harm. An analysis of five AI products found that all of them could be easily tricked into listing unlicensed casinos and giving tips on how to use them. Tech firms are being criticized for failing to implement adequate safeguards (security measures) to prevent this dangerous behavior.
